WHAM Lunch & Learn: Shinrin-Yoku: Walking Towards Workplace Wellness with Forest Bathing

The health and wellness movement of forest therapy has made its way to Minnesota. Over the past 40 years, studies have shown that forest bathing increases immunity, decreases stress, improves sleep, mood, and mental focus, and enhances emotional resilience. Nature is not just for the weekends or after-work walks. Instead, learn how everyone can integrate nature mindfulness into their work throughout the day whether in an office setting or working remotely.

The event will take place on Wednesday, October 19 from 12:00-12:50 pm.   Lunch will be available in the Weyerhaeuser Boardroom at 11:45 am for those who have registered.  Kristen will give a presentation for the first half, and then we will join her outside for some guided forest bathing.  This event will take place rain or shine so please dress accordingly.
